Long overdue post

Posted on 2007-09-20 by Curt

There’s a certain irony to writing a blog. During those times when you have the most to write about, you have the least time to write it.

I had two specific goals for my recent visit to Las Vegas. I wanted to see Celine Dion, who was sick when I visited in December, and I wanted to learn how to play craps. I’m happy to say I accomplished both goals, and I did it while fighting a cold. In retrospect, I probably should have spent the weekend in bed, but I really did have a great time.
